“Have you had your shot?”
Posted by Dobrien 4 years, 3 months ago to Philosophy
This is a reoccurring Question that my wife has been asked as well as myself. “Did you get the shot”?
I have said “I am not going to” or “I am part of the medical trial ...I’m in the control group” or the extremely unpopular
“I am acting as a free man”.another disliked reply is “sorry that is a HIPPA violation”
My bride has just said she doesn’t “trust it”.
I feel this a very dividing moment in time. “It’s the do it or die” Chant for an initiation to a club We don’t want to join.
It is a moment that makes me clearly see the elegant simplicity of Rands message .........Collectivism is the cancer destroying the individual.
it is a moment that I feel the real pressure from others who are pushing me to conform , to self sacrifice myself for someone else’s peace of mind. Bullied to take the Jab for the “greater good”
Essentially it’s slavery.

Galt’s Gulch,Colorado.
On a sign written
“I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”
The philosophy of attaining the highest moral action , of living your life with your ethical self-interest as your purpose is a basic principle for humanities future success.. Truly it actually is practiced by many people who don’t even have a clue nor an understanding of what makes a person tick so to speak. Often missing though is “ethical” . Are the folks who ask “Did you get your shot?” acting in their self interest yes but not in an ethical fashion. They want someone to give them something without trading value. They will use a mob mentality and will be passively aggressive or will simply bully you.
When posed with the question “Did you get the shot?” I might just ask how many shots would they be willing to take to make me feel safe?

There would be a few who believe they will benefit personally, there are many who are cajoled into making the effort for the common good. To boast about having it is moral posturing / virtue signalling - look at me, see what I have done for the good of all.
Watch out for the public shaming, the insult, the sneers, directed at the non-takers.
Just suppose for a moment you really did believe in the common good,
(rather than deep state interests and big pharma sales),
what to do? It is all set out in the Great Barrington Declaration. It certainly brings in government, but to identify and arrange support for the vulnerable, ensure choice and treatments are available, voluntary, and helping rather than compelling.

All that aside...I am really surprised at all the people who feel the need to broadcast that they got the shot. Why are they doing this? I guess I should ask them myself. I don't understand it. It makes me want to lie and say I've gotten all of the shots - Moderna, Pfizer, J&J, Astrazenica, and all other due to be out including all boosters. Why not? What's the point?
I do not consent to slavery. No jab.
Two other doctors and my stepdaughter who is a knowledgeable RN didn't trust the vaccine either. I was ill from Jan 6-12, lost my appetite and didn't eat for 6 days but I pushed fluids. Had stomach distress and no appetite, ran fever of 102 one day and then low grade the rest of the time. Lost 16 pounds (boy do I look good in a size 10). I just had about $1,000 worth of blood work and they didn't find anything bad. I have really good insurance...Dept of Defense. If someone feels nervous they should take the vaccine. But I am not taking it. I don't like my feelings about it. N
